The Black Company is the brainchild of author Glen Cook, in which he details a section of history about Mercenary outfit in some long lost forgotten world remembered by those who like really good fiction enough to remember it. We did not create the Black Company; there are many factions and guilds that use the name. We do not claim to be the Best Version or the Only Version. This Chapter Does adhere to the Core structure and traditions of the Black Company as set down by Mr. Cook. We are a Brotherhood that does each and everything we do OF BY and FOR the Black Company. We only succeed when the Company succeeds; personal glory means little or nothing to us.
We make this claim not only to attract those seeking a likeminded home, but because we have found Truth in the living entity that has become our Company. We are always on the lookout for lost Brothers seeking to find a way home.
We began this chapter in science fiction world of Anarchy Online, though quickly moved to SWG as soon as open beta became available, further distancing ourselves from our sword and sorcery roots. We have thrived as we have grown, as we have come to know and trust our Officers, our Grunts both Supply and Infantry, but first and foremost, Our Brothers. We are eager to return to the forge of our core creation, back to trial by fire and brimstone, wizards and warriors, steel and mettle. We are open to any and all games where we can simply have fun and do our thing as a group of friends and gamers.
We are a Mercenary Military Organization that adheres to traditional military style of role-play WITHOUT the Ego that goes with playing with other people’s children. We keep our units structured with a Meaningful Rank system and offer rewards and promotions to those deserving and seeking leadership. We understand that in order to have an army, you must be able to well equip that army with the most effective, efficient tools of warfare to be found. We believe a well maintained Supply Division, operating under the supervision of its own Division Commander, recruiting its own division of motivated crafters to tinker away into the wee hours to perfect the Ultimate war machine is the heart of any successful military campaign.
The Soul of that Campaign is the Infantry. We are a PvP guild at the core, striving for nothing less than Total Domination of anyone and anything we are contracted to crush, subjugate, or annihilate. We do take Contracts from live guilds or individuals, though have the flexibility to coordinate events using in game content to move things along for a sense of purpose during slow times. We believe in practice, drill, drill, and practice of all techniques of troop movements, battle coordination, and fighting efficiency. Regularly scheduled events are organized and run from all levels of the Company rank structure, giving everyone a sense of Duty and Pride that Each Brother makes the Company what it is.
We have a few requirements in order to apply for an Interview with a Recruiting Officer:
1. You must be a mature 21 years of age or older. We do not play with other people’s children.
2. Understand we role-play a cut throat ruthless band of mercenaries in a Military organization, not the Care Bear Free Love and Hug Association. We are all friends who Enjoy being in this military style unit, so you DO NOT have to Role-play the whole part sitting around your house wearing armor and saluting the monitor, but it helps when you Enjoy what you are doing, no matter what you are doing. Be yourself or not, but be a Brother of the Black Company.
3. We do not accept second guild or server “alt” characters. Those of us who give it our all understand this means doing so much within, Of By and For the Company; we just don’t have time for another guild or server.
4. You must be at least a 20 hour a week player. NO Part Timers.
5. Forum Use – We know not everyone enjoys Forums, however, logging in and asking about what you can read on your at your own pace on your own time will usually get your greeted with a READ THE FORUMS response, be warned.
6. Do Not dispel anyone’s illusion of play. Leave your Ego at Home. Yes, this is a game, but it is a Club of Real People who enjoys immersive game play in a world they were not born into. If you don’t’ like the Black Company, leave, no hard feelings.
We are currently located on the Corbantis Server of Star Wars Galaxies and in City of Heroes. Our web home is www.Black-Company.org. We are keeping our eyes on DnL. If this one plays like it reads, then we will be among the first of the new inhabitants in this new world, ready to take our place in its history, to further the pages of our own Annals. If you are interested in learning more about our chapter of the Black Company, feel free to visit our website and post to our Public Forums with any inquiry.
We look forward to being an active part of the Community. We will see you all soon and look forward to hearing more from those of you who have been around these forums for a very long time. We have much to learn and much to do, it will be done.
